determined by checking the depth-of-field
scale. (Fig. 9)
En
• If your camera has a depth of field preview
(stop-down) button or lever, depth of field
can be observed while looking through the
camera viewfinder.
• For more information, see p. 196.
9. Setting the aperture
• Because this lens does not have an aperture ring, you must set the
aperture on the camera.

10. Built-in rotating tripod collar

• When shooting vertical pictures, loosen the tripod collar lock screw
by turning it counterclockwise, rotate the lens to an appropriate
position, then tighten the screw clockwise.
• When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera
with the lens in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod,
depending on the tripod in use.
Monopod (supplied accessory)
• The tripod collar can be exchanged for a monopod collar.
• After changing the tripod collar, make sure the screw is fully
tightened. Failure to fully tighten the screw could lead to accidents or
damage to the lens and camera.
For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon service
center or representative office.
